Hibiscus syriacus ‘Azurri’
If you ever needed confirmation that last is most definitely not least, then this is it. Hibiscus syriacus ‘Belli Colori Azurri’ is late to flower, for its blooms don’t appear until August. However, the hardy shrub’s jaw-dropping flowers with their lilac petals and blood red detail are well worth the wait. Rose Mallow’s three-lobed foliage is equally attractive, and has the added bonus of flourishing even in difficult, alkaline gardens which receive little maintenance. Height: 3m (9’10); Spread: 2m (6’7).
